Bitcoin wallet integrate into discourse

AI-generated summary

A discussion is underway about integrating a Bitcoin wallet into Discourse. CryptoRux initiated the conversation, expressing interest in having a link to a Bitcoin wallet for users. erlend_sh shared a past Bitcoin-related integration, the Bitcoin Tipping Plugin, but noted that the service it relied on has been discontinued.

CryptoRux and mautematico inquired about existing or in-development plugins that could achieve this integration. CryptoRux expressed a desire for a tipbot on their forum for giveaways and promotions. They also proposed potential technical implementations, such as sending RPC calls to a wallet daemon or running a daemon-cli file to trigger transactions.

Falco suggested commissioning a plugin through the Marketplace. CryptoRux liked this idea and suggested a community-driven effort to fund the development, citing their own use case for their cryptocurrency-focused forum.

Is it possible?

Would be so good, your user to have link wallet

In a plugin, pretty much everything is possible :wink:

Has anyone found some plugin (or a plugin in development) that can achieve this?

I wish someone can achieve this… would like to have tipbot on my discourse forum so that we can do some giveaways and stuff

I cannot belive that after so many years we still dont have native Bitcoin wallet in Discourse :slight_smile:

Is there a chance we can talk about this plugin?

I will try to clear some things for possible developer who could wrap this plugin.

Is there a way that Discourse forum can send RPC calls to a wallet daemon that would be installed on the same host where Discourse is.

Can Discourse run file that is on same host, in this case daemon-cli file, that could trigger transactions, creation of new address, etc.

Im sure many discourse users who know what crypto is, would like to have crypto wallet integrated into their community.

Maybe we can all join and pay commision for developer, thanks for idea @Falco

In my case, i run Crypto.ba Blockchain educational forum, and we also have our own cryptocurrency, it would be BOMB if i could tip my users with our crypto or with Bitcoin/ETH and rest of them.

Thanks again :slight_smile:
